4 Ideas On How To Make Money Through Facebook

Perhaps one of the more simple ways to make money through the internet is by using social media that you probably already use on a day basis.  If you are familiar with Facebook you may well know that it is one of the largest social media networks across the world and there are literally millions of people who have an account with Facebook.

Many people login to Facebook on a daily basis, some even stayed signed in on the mobile phones all the time to see what’s going on with their friends, posting pictures, videos and making comments on other timelines.  Due to the size of Facebook, it is quite simply one of the best ways to make money online.

To narrow it down for you and make it a little clearer, here are just 4 of the ways you can make money through this huge social media network.

#1  If you are already a blogger or own your own website, you will be familiar with trying to generate traffic to both of these.  Bloggers around the globe, as well as those who have a website make money through monetizing the site/blog with affiliate links, Ad Sense and other resources.

Having just a blog and letting it sit there is not enough to get the money rolling in, so you need to push traffic, or to put it more simply, you need to start getting people visiting your site/blog.  And here’s where FB comes into its own. There are obviously millions of people out there you can draw into your site or blog.  Once you have them on your site you need to keep them there and that’s where you want to be able to provide them with a product that they can buy.

Advertising on your site is a great way to make money, if it’s done correctly so all you really need to do is draw people onto your site through Facebook.

#2 Sharing Videos on Facebook is another great way, not only to drive people to your site but also something you can monetize too with advertising.  The aim here is that you get people to follow your YouTube channel, through your Facebook and gain lots of views.  Many contributors of advertising pay out on a “per view” basis, so the more people view your video, the more you get paid.

So it makes sense that the more videos you upload to YouTube and share on Facebook, the better. Although just make a note here that it’s not a massive money spinner, you can still get a constant trickle of dollars/pounds from this revenue stream. 

#3 Did you know you can sell stuff on Facebook?  How about knuckling down and writing an eBook?  Maybe you have other items like stamps, coins, or bound books you want to sell..all this stuff sells through Facebook.  It’s a really good place to locate people to buy your stuff and I don’t just mean in your local area, there are hundreds of people around the world looking for stuff to buy on Facebook, it’s not just limited to eBay!

There are a couple of way you can sell through Facebook, for example there is a paid method and also a free option.  It’s good idea to read through the Facebook FAQ’s first before you dive headlong into selling though.

#4 Sharing Links On Facebook can bring in the dosh!

The simplest of methods, which is probably the most obvious way of making money on FB is by sharing links with other people.  I know right, sounds crazy..but it’s true.  All you need to do is check out a site that pays people to use their link-shorten-er, such as Tiny.cc (although adf.ly is the highest paid).

Find something like a video that you think is cool, or perhaps even a website that you love and something you want to share with your friends on Facebook, simply use the link shorten-er site, and post up the link.  It’s that easy.  So when someone else clicks on that shortened link and they are re-directed to the website of the advertiser, you will get paid.  Keep in mind though that it does depend upon the amount of people who click on the link.

So here are just a few quick ideas on how to make money through one of the favorite social media networks, but there are plenty more…
